Positions and recession velocities of 2MASS galaxies in the vicinity of NGC 1275 with velocities in the range ±3000 km s−1 relative to NGC 1275. The size of the symbols reflects the K magnitudes of a galaxy (brighter – larger), and the color characterizes the LOS velocity relative to NGC 1275 in km s−1 (see the color bar on the right side of the plot). Left: 20 × 20 degrees images showing large-scale filaments. Two of them are marked with black lines. Right: 2 × 2 degrees version of the same plot. NGC 1275, NGC 1265, and IC310 are marked with squares. A clear elongation of galaxies with small LOS velocities in the east-west direction suggests that IC310 is part of a “filament” that spans at least a few degrees. In turn, NGC 1265 might be related to another “diagonal” (bottom-left to top-right) filament that has several galaxies with larger recession velocities (blue and purple circles in the plot).
